The announcer that was doing the live commentary was ****ing annoying. Everything everyone has said so far is true and it got quite ridiculous.
If I hear one more thing about Sapparo I'm going to shoot my face off with a shotgun.

lol he said Sapparo SOOOOO much. It was pissing me off too lol.

Im pretty sure the only people that went in the VIP booth are the ones that

All we could hear from the stream from the c was sapporo and hooters lol

I agree with mostly everything that has been said. The announcers were completely unprofessional, crude, and downright annoying. I was there on Friday and Saturday and I couldn't help but be disappointed by the lost opportunity for our sport. One of the many benefits to playing paintball on Huntington Beach is the opportunity to attract new potential players and fans. If I didn't have any knowledge about what paintball is about, I would have had a very different perception of it based off the announcers.

One of those announcers was drunk i think. He kept ****ing up simple words and ****, at least at the event. Also, as I was leaving I was walking up to Matt Marshal and I heard him some kid ask why he wasnt doing the announcing. Matts response: 'Cause Im the enemy.

im 1/16th japanese and the stereotypical asian voices he was making while promoting Sapporo beer offended me.

He must've done alot of bad impersonations if he offended someone who's left hand is Japanese. No disresect, just saying. I wasn't there but did watch alot of the feed, when it was working, and alot of the commentary was ****. I must've missed all the offensive comments. Not knowing what the score was, who was playing, who just got out. But keep in mind they often had the players themselves in the booth with them to help.

I'm confident that the announcers you heard online were the same ones we heard live. They were ignorant and unacceptable, to go as far as to single out a female attendee and basically say "I'd hit it" in front of everyone, among other outrages. NPPL, please look into finding a different crew of announcers...

I was at the event, i was saying if the people online heard what I heard, they heard the ******* mc I heard

i can only speak for saturday and i haven't seen any videos yet but the announcers i heard really need some help, bad.

how difficult is it to just let the music play? i understand that you want to get the crow energized and into the game and everything but i think that if you don't have something relevant to announce you might want to shut up.

it seemed like the announcer loved the sound of his own voice way more than the sport.....

I don't know if they were the same commentators as the ones at the event, but whoever was the MC at the event should never be able to MC at an NPPL event again. The sexual comments about the Saporro and Hooter girls were completely unnecessary as there were kids all around the event. I love me some Hooters girls, but when a parent gets drug out there to see something their kid is so enthusiastic about and all they hear is trashy talk about women and sexual references, the parent probably won't want their kid anywhere near our sport. That was literally the only complaint about the event, it was completely terrible.

Agreed. Matty should probably be MC'ing. He's the best public, non-player face for our sport. Unfortunately he's also the best commentator.

I didnt really pay attention to the announcing that much. It was a little odd; they called our teams names out and then immediatley started talking about a blood drive or something. Didnt seem to flow very well.

The sexual references were a bit heavy and I agree that needs to be dealt with. Overall though, the MCs were lively and kept the crowd entertained during low points of the games. I enjoyed listening to them throughout the tournament (at HB).

They should fly me over, i'd do it! LOLz,
I heard a few games on teh Webcast. They miss named teams, scores and players. They were talking about the dorito side when they were showing the snake, they were talking about a different game in the middle of the one that was going on, sometimes there was nothing being said during the game, then CLICK "middle of sentence" talking started. So they weren't paying attention to the games at all.

They need people that can comment on the games AND talk about Paintball stuff between points, or during breaks. Talk about the sponsors and teams, various off season details, new roster changes, etc etc. Discuss the NPPL going forward, who's going to win, whos shooting what, rivalries etc etc.

PSP Webcast has been mentioned here so many times cause they are always discussing whats going on. They have 1 main guy *MM* and now have Lasoya in the booth too, generally with 1 other pro player to chat too and get their oppinion from. There's always something being talked about on the PSP Webcast, never any "dead air"

It was very hard for me to get my parents to support me when I first started playing in the early 2000's. It was embarrassing for me to bring them to events or to the field when trashy talk was going on. They really hated having their 14 year old kid hearing such bad talk all the time. It took a lot of convincing to get them to let me keep playing.
